The XX2 is a terrific cartridge but that may be to much money to spend. You should also consider your phono stage, how good is it and also you preamplifier how good is it.
Don't underestimate the 17D. It sounds amazing, it has a very short, and hard to mess up cantilever made from diamond as opposed to aluminum which is more typical in that price range.
Analogue is tough, so many variables.
